17 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS SHORTEN THE STRAP LENGTHEN For added safety, a nylon strap has been included to restrict the degree of inversion. This strap can be adjusted to different lengths to allow for a greater or lesser degree of inversion. To lengthen the Nylon Strap (23) feed the top end of Nylon Strap (23) into the strap lock, and pull on the lower end of the strap. To shorten the length feed the bottom end of Nylon Strap (23) into the strap lock, and pull on the top end ADJUSTING THE BOOM The Adjustable Boom (3) can be moved to a variety of different positions, in order to accommodate the height of the person on the inversion table. To adjust the Adjustable Boom (3) pull out the Adjustable Boom Knob (41), and slide the Adjustable Boom (3) up or down until the desired height on the height scale is positioned just below the Backrest Frame (2). When the Adjustable Boom (3) is in the desired position, simply release the Adjustable Boom Knob (41), slide the Adjustable Boom (3) slightly up or down until the Adjustable Boom Knob (41) locks into place. 15

18 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS THE HANDLEBARS For added convenience and safety, a set of Handlebars (6) has been added to the inversion table. These Handlebars (6) are located at the top of the Rear Frame (8). The Handlebars (6) are there to help you return to the upright position from any degree of inversion. If you wish to return to the upright position, and the backrest is moving too slowly, or not moving at all, simply grab the Handlebars (6) and pull on them until you return to the upright position. NOTE: The inversion table should always return to the upright position when you move your hands below your waist. If it does not, the inversion table is probably not adjusted correctly to your height. * Always hold on to the handlebars and go back slowly. Failure to comply could result in serious physical injury. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS 1. It is recommended that someone be with you while you are using this inversion table for the first few times. 2. Make sure that the Front and Rear Rubber Heel Holders (13, 14) are holding your feet securely. 3. Make sure that the Adjustable Boom (3) is properly set to your height. 4. Make sure that the Adjustable Boom (3) is held securely by the Adjustable Boom Knob (41). 5. Make sure that there is enough room for the inversion table to rotate completely. 16

19 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE FRONT AND RUBBER REAR HEEL HOLDERS 1. Pull up on the Adjustable Instep Frame Knob (40), slide the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) completely out of the Adjustable Boom (3). 2. Slide your ankles between the Front and Rear Rubber Heel Holders (13, 14) and stand on the Foot Bar (4) located at the bottom of the Adjustable Boom (3). 3. Pull up on the Adjustable Instep Frame Knob (40), allow the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) to slide back into the Adjustable Boom (3). Push in slightly on the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) until the Front and Rear Rubber Heel Holders (13, 14) are around your ankles. Release the Adjustable Instep Frame Knob (40) and adjust the Adjustable Instep Frame (5) slightly until the Adjustable Instep Frame Knob (40) locks into place. 4. Stand upright with your back against the backrest and your hands lowered at your sides. BALANCING THE INVERSION TABLE The inversion table is like a very sensitively balanced fulcrum. It responds to very slight changes in weight distribution. So, it is very important to make sure that the height is adjusted properly. To do this, mount the inversion table, lock your ankles into the heel holders, and lie back with your hands at your sides. Slowly place you hands across your chest. While in this position, your head should still be above your feet. If your feet are above your head, dismount and adjust the height again. 17

20 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS USING THE INVERSION TABLE 1. Start by lying fully back on the backrest with your hands at your side, or resting on your thighs. 2. Keeping your hands close to your body begin to raise your arms slowly allowing the table to rotate backward. Stop, or lower your arms to control the downward rotation of the table. 3. Raise your arms until they are over your head. At this point, the inversion table will be as far back as it can go. 4. As you get more comfortable with the use, rock the backrest slowly by moving your arms up and down slowly. 5. It is recommended that the inversion table be used for five or ten minutes each morning, and again each evening. 6. Return to the upright position by slowly moving your hands back down to your thighs. 18

21 OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS SUGGESTIONS FOR USE 1. Begin slowly: invert only 15~20 degrees to begin with. Stay inverted only as long as you are comfortable. Return upright slowly. 2. Make gradual changes: increase the angle only if it is comfortable. Increase angle only a few degrees at a time. Increase the time of use 1~2 minutes up to ten over a period of weeks. Add stretching and light exercise only after you are comfortable with inversion. 3. Watch your body. Come up slowly, dizziness after a session means you came up too fast. Wait a while after eating before using table. If you get nauseous, do not fight it, come up as soon as you feel queasy. 4. Keep moving: movement while inverted encourages blood, circulation. Movement may be accomplished by either rhythmic traction or light exercise. Do not exercise strenuously while inverted, limit partial inversion without movement to one or two minutes. Limit full inversion with no movement to only a few seconds. 5. Invert regularly: we recommend two or three times a day depending upon your current condition. Try to schedule it for the same time each day. 19

22 STORAGE For your storage convenience, the inversion table can be folded down to place against a wall, under a bed, or in a storage area. Pull out the Ring Pin (26) from the holes on the Rear and Front Frames (8, 9), then push the Rear and Front Frames (8, 9) together until they meet. Insert the Ring Pin (26) back into the hole on the Front Frame (9). Now the inversion table is ready to be stored, allowing you to unfold it quickly and easily whenever you want to use it. 20
